"Hey! What are six cigarettes, four long and two short?"
Just when Ye Geng finished his observation and was about to go back to his room to rest, the young man with an inverted triangle face suddenly began to ask the hotel owner:
"Could you be talking about the message before the death of that guy from Kazuno?"
"Well……"
The hotel owner's expression stiffened for a moment and he said vaguely: "Even if you ask me like this...I will..."
"Definitely not! It's definitely not a death message!"
The drunk woman next to her wiped the marks from the corners of her eyes with her sleeves. She seemed a little unclear.
She staggered, letting out a sinister laugh, and walked towards the stairs, muttering to herself:
"Ma Xiong faked his death! He must be trying to tease me, right... That's right, he just likes to joke with me... I'm going back to my room to sleep. Maybe tomorrow Ma Xiong will suddenly appear in my bed with a smile. In front of me...hehehe, hehehehe..."
"Miss Nonomiya, there shouldn't be any problems with her." Dr. Agasa's aura of good old man spread.
"If that skeleton is really Asao, Etsuko may not be able to accept it for a while."
The hotel owner sighed, "Oh, let her have a good sleep, and I will drive her back to the city early tomorrow morning..."
"I suggest that everyone should not leave their rooms casually tonight. Before you understand the situation of the matter, you should wait quietly until dawn." Dr. A Li suggested.
"Uh, what about dinner?" the hotel owner asked, "I'm sorry, this happened suddenly and I didn't have time to prepare..."
"Forget it, why are you still in the mood to eat?"
The balding middle-aged man and the young man with an inverted triangle face walked upstairs after speaking.
"What about you?" The hotel owner turned to look at Dr. A Li and his children.
"No, we all brought bread. We originally planned to eat it while watching the stars." The trio of young detectives said.
"Then I don't have to." Dr. Ali smiled and waved his hand.
"I'm sorry..." the hotel owner continued to apologize.
"It doesn't matter, you'll give me a room when you're done." Ye Gengyi said.
"Uh..." The innkeeper's expression froze, and he nodded after a moment of silence, "I understand."
…
Hotel, guest room on the second floor.
After coming here.
Dr. A Li brought five small heads and naturally knocked on the door and squeezed into Ye Gengyi's single room.
Haiyuan Ai looked at the cadre of a certain organization with a "I'm disturbed" look on his face, and smiled secretly in his heart, but on the surface he still said calmly:
"Edogawa wanted to discuss the pre-death message with you, but he was a little embarrassed to speak, so he asked the doctor to bring us together."
"No... I just think that if there are more people, they might be able to give different opinions." Conan quickly explained.
Although in his perception, Ye Gengyi has never regarded him as an independent and mature detective so far, but he still does not want the other party to think that his reasoning ability is at the same level as that of the trio of young detectives.
"Oh... sit wherever you want."
Ye Gengyi showed off his house-owner style, stood up and moved away from the single sofa, then took out a few disposable paper cups and a bag of instant coffee from his backpack and handed them to a certain Loli:
"Xiao Ai, go help everyone get water and coffee."
Haibara Ai:"……"
You're welcome...and what's going on with this customary commanding tone?
"I'm here to help." Ayumi consciously shared part of the work.
Valley injury
"I'm here to help, too." Mitsuhiko was also very positive.
Tsk... Ye Gengyi sighed, and when he saw that no one was occupying his sofa, he sat back down again.
To be honest, he was not interested in this game of deciphering the message before Wano Asao's death. Especially after realizing that the hotel owner might know something, he didn't even bother to put any thought into this code that might have been manipulated.
However, the murderer still needs to be found.
Before late night came, just to kill time, he might as well listen to Conan's reasoning.
After a while, the aroma of coffee filled the whole room.
Mitsuhiko took out the matches provided by the hotel, broke two of them, made them into exactly the same number as cigarettes, and started to arrange them:
"With six cigarettes, Mr. Futokawa will have one more cigarette, and Mr. Tentu will have one less. There are too many strokes for Nonomiya and Gogami, and it is impossible to spell them out."
"What about Katakana?" Ayumi said.
"No," Dr. Ali waved his hand, "the katakana of their surnames must be at least eight."
"What if it is the first letter of the Roman sound?" Haiyuan Ai gave an example: "For example, my name Haibara ai, four long and two short can just spell out h and a..."
"C-could it be that..." Yuantai's face was full of shock, "Haiyuan, you are the murderer?!"
"You know it's impossible." Haiyuan Ai looked back with half-moon eyes.
"Speaking of my tsuburaya mitsuhik and Ayumi's yoshida ayumi, the initials can be pieced together with just six..."
Mitsuhiko was a little excited, "It's so romantic~"
"Then my agasa hiroshi is a and h," Dr. Agasa took the opportunity to rush in, "just like yours, it is exactly 6."
"That's just a coincidence." Mitsuhiko had a hurt expression on his face... Just now, he only noticed Sarada's km, Conan's ek and Genta's kg. He was careless and didn't let Dr. Agasa ruin the atmosphere.
"Futakawa Hajime," Ye Gengyi said coldly: "According to the puzzle solution provided by Xiao Ai, among those few people, only his six cigarettes whose 'fh' matched the message before his death."
"So, is Mr. Futakawa the murderer?" Dr. Ali asked.
"Not necessarily," Conan stood up and walked towards the door: "We will find out after we test it..."
Ye Gengyi stood up to see him off.
Conan, who was keen on solving crimes, didn't realize it, but Haihara Ai squeezed back in just before the door behind her was about to close.
She looked at a cadre of an organization with a complicated expression, "Aren't you going?"
"There's no rush, we'll go later." Ye Geng glanced out the window, "About five minutes ago, when you were discussing the pre-death messages, I saw him and Gogami Heihachi sneaking toward the cliff. direction."
"Why are you just saying now..."
Haihara Ai looked at the people at the other end of the corridor who had opened the door and entered Futakawa Hajime's room, and lowered his voice, "If he is the murderer."
"I have a bad impression of those people. It has nothing to do with me whether they live or die," Ye Gengyi yawned, "Don't look at me with this expression. They are all adults and have to take responsibility for their actions... You Thinking about it on the other hand, if I am led away to meddle in my own business, you guys and the doctor might also be in danger."
"Well..." Hui Yuarai hesitated, "What exactly do you want to say..."
"The hotel owner may have some problems, but according to my observation, he doesn't look like a murderer." Ye Gengyi held his chin with one hand and considered for a moment, "Anyway, as long as you two are obedient and don't run around, even if you encounter I can still handle the danger for now."
He just finished speaking.
I saw Conan running out of Futakawa Hajime's room in a hurry, and arranged with a serious face:
"Damn it! Where are they going at such a late hour?! Doctor, you and Saraichi-san, Haibara, and Genta go find the others. I, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi go and call Miss Nonomiya back!"
Ye Gengyi: "..."
Haibara Ai:"……"
Here come the disobedient ones...
